Yep - I think you're right about the Gretsch. Not worth trying to sell it, and it does have sentimental value - it was the guitar that got me started, albeit fleetingly. I stopped playing it in 1973, but started playing bass in 2005.

Is that all!? That one's in America, and it's a bit of a wreck. I might just have to put mine out there for a guestimated price, and see what happens.

My mum bought me this classical guitar in 1971. Label inside soundhole reads: "Dorado by Gretsch. Model 6025. Made in Japan". I played it for a couple of years, and it's been in careful storage ever since. It's totally original. Even including original strings! Excellent condition with just a couple of thumbnail marks on the front. I unpacked it today and it was still almost in tune. Amazing. I play bass now, and I'm considering selling the Gretsch. See photo. I've done some internet research, but can't find this model for sale in this superb condition. Any thoughts, please?

Thanks everybody. Internet advice seems to be to forget about on-board electrics at this price. I'm only thinking about easy chord strumming at home at this stage, so electrics can wait - maybe add later with a soundhole pickup. I have a 1971 Gretsch 6025 classical guitar here. Might sell it. Might not - my mum bought it for me....

I've been playing bass for 20 years. I'm starting to think about buying a half-decent (electro) acoustic guitar for strumming along to some simple songs. I've done some research, and Yamaha F310 keeps cropping up. Plenty on ebay for under £100. This seems pretty cheap to me - are they any good? I'd happily spend up to £200, and I'd happily consider used. Any other makes to consider? Tanglewood? Takamine??
